Guide
This KOA is very nicely run. It's clean and we'll kept. The backdrop of mountains and colors are gorgeous. It's just very cramped. Your door opens right to the neighbors hookups. There are strips of grass between but they hold half of a picnic table.
This is a good spot to hook up and top off for a night or two, or if you're planning on staying inside, or if you're going to head up into the mountains for hiking and leave the rig behind.
Can't comment on the cabins but they seem nice and the amenities areas are very nice as well. I just prefer a little space when I'm camping.

Beautiful park, awesome animals. TERRIBLE FLIES. We had no idea there was little flies that could bite like a bee sting, but there was. And we couldn’t get away from them. This was a trip we left phones at home and just wanted to get away, but we flew over it on the way in. There’s so many trails here and we so many bison it was awesome to see, a mini Yellowstone with sub par “campgrounds” which made us feel like we were still in the city due to them having concrete and artificial sun shades which was necessary.
Traveler
Close the to the valley for a quick little getaway! Campgrounds are pretty close to one another but somewhat secluded depending on the spot you get. Parking next to your campground is a plus for me! They have restrooms which is nice! Decent place for a quick trip!
RangerWith covid last year, I just needed to get away. I went in June, and it was lovely. It was chilly for sure, but it was so nice. It was quiet, tucked away from anyone. Didn't really see anyone for the three days we are there. Our site was next to the river, which really helped drown out all other sounds! I have already booked a site for this year! The campground is beautiful, and we had a lot of aspen trees at our site. Beautiful!
RangerWe traveled to Utah from California for our annual Christmas camping adventure. This was our first spot, and it was a wonderful place to start. We don’t have to worry about the bugs, being it’s December. There were a few other campers, but there were a few others.
RangerBy far one of my favorite stops through Utah ❤️ absolutely breathtaking views, along with scenic routes to see wildlife such as the bison. They had selective campground area sectioned off near the Bay Area, and also group camping spots that where much larger and secluded near the Bay Area as well.
LegendOne of our favorite state parks in Utah is only~45 minutes away from Salt Lake City! There are bison, antelope, deer, and many other animals that call this island home. On the west side of the island are extensive muds flats that give you one of the best sunset views in Utah. One of our favorite things to do on the island is hike Frary Peak which is the high point of the island. The top portion of the hike is a rocky scramble, but there are plenty of side trails to beautiful viewpoints during the hike.
As for the best season to visit the island, we are partial to winter due to the absolute lack of bugs and stunning contrast of the bison on fresh snow. Our 2nd favorite season is early spring before the bugs come out in full swarm! I wouldn't recommend visiting in late spring or summer as there are swarms of all kinds of biting bugs and the temps can be unbearable.
GuideWe stayed at the Springville/ Provo Utah KOA in September 2021. This is a full service KOA with nice FHU 50 amp pull-thru sites which were long, wide and level. This KOA is one of the nicer KOA’s that we have stayed at. It is very well managed with a professional, friendly staff. It does have a pool, children’s play area and group area with two bbqs. It has lots of grassy area to walk your pups and we met many friendly fellow travelers here. I highly recommend this park. To see videos on this park and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
RangerCampground was full, but there is a road that has lots of pull offs with fire pits and picnic tables. Spread out sites. Primitive so no power or water but for $15 and only minutes from SLC and the salt flats I’ll take it. It is gated and closes at 7pm so get there early to grab a good spot.
ScoutAll in all a great place unless you meet the Boss. He is a good old boy through and through hard headed and ignorant, but the rest of the people that work here are pretty nice.
RangerLoved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!

Big urban park, concrete sites, minimal grass, a lot of long term folks. WiFi was ok bathhouses we’re new and clean and should have been adequate for the size of the park but a number we’re constantly locked, I assume to minimize cleaning costs. Maintenance is now what I would expect from a top notch park.
TravelerThis is a pretty decent park. There are a lot of amenities, clean facilities, and concrete pads. The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn’t the best place. You can’t burn firewood but you can have a propane fire pit. There is a plant nearby so it kind of smells. And there’s a decent amount of road noise since it’s in town. It also backs up to an RV sales and service place which I think is pretty convenient! It’s gated too, which is also pretty great! Overall good spot and would definitely stay again.
ScoutDon’t let the name fool you. This campground is beautifully maintained. The office staff were very welcoming and helpful. The pull though sites make it super easy to get in and set up. Security gate offers extra sense of safety. The access from the highway was easy and convenient. Definitely recommend.
ScoutWe were looking for a reasonably priced spot to get some laundry and other RV tasks done before heading into the wilderness for the week. We were greeted with a gated, calm, friendly park. The facilities are impeccable and the staff was so helpful and friendly. Would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!
ScoutVery helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay.
RangerComing from Las Vegas to go to Montana to visit family, Salt Lake City is a great middle stop. We (3 kids, 3 adults, 3 dogs, and a cat) found Pony Express and were extremely pleased. The GPS carjacked us and the resort was a bit difficult to find but once we did it was excellent.

GuideConvenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks. You’ll need to drive to get to restaurants, grocery stores, and ~20 min drive to downtown but overall not a bad spot to camp out for a few days.
RangerThese sites a so close to each other. We only stop here to stay the night.
WiFi is ok-phone hotspot is better.
Staff is great.
ScoutI would say 75% or more of the spots are full time rv’ers. Mostly everyone is friendly, sites are clean, but kids and barking dogs everywhere! Spaces aren’t as small as I feared they’d be after reading reviews. I guess it depends on your rig size. We have a small 21’ travel trailer and the pull through spots are perfect!
Both my neighbors are permanent residents. (actually everyone around us is) The one just south of me has been sawing wood since we arrived. It’s now 8:30pm and very much annoying.
The gnats and mosquitos are are just as annoying as the permanent kids in the park.
The playground is clean, a good sized one, but overrun with unsupervised kids.
GuideIt’s for full time staying mostly but the amenities were nice on our trip we did laundry and got to shower in their nice showers😂 bit expensive 59 a night
LegendMy god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition. There are dozens and dozens of spots that fit just about any size RV or 5th wheel. Every spot has water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and enough grass space to setup pet pens.
There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!
LegendReally nice RV resort near Interstate. Pull throughs or back in on paved level sites. Picnic table. FHU. Sites typically close with grass area seperating. No shade or privacy. Narrow interior roads. Nice bathhouses with private shower/toilets. Wifi and cable. Great play area. Bikes available including kid sized. Paved 80 mile bike trail along Jordan River. Giant chessboard. Nice pool area. Amazing clubhouse with pool table, foosball, large TV, comfy chairs, guest kitchen area. Complimentary coffee, tea and fresh made cookies. Friendly, helpful employees!
RangerGreat site for your rv. Nothing to complain about
GuideWell kept grounds with friendly staff. All sites have concrete pull throughs. All amenities were clean and well maintained. Wifi issues connecting, didn’t work. Has pet areas, pool, play areas in which were all clean and usable.
ScoutPaid sites Easy drive up
Keep in mind other campers are near but not right by you depending on site.
We went last summer and cant wait to go back
Running water Hook ups Tent spots
Good for groups or singles
